Lifestyle Coaches, Irish

The Call

TEDf01-1,2 Lifestyle Coaches – Promote and facilitate health expos and follow-up programs (such as cooking schools, supper clubs, depression recovery, etc.), promoting NEWSTART concepts in the Cork area and in the local church. Develop friendships within the Irish community, nurture existing contacts, engage friends in spiritual conversations and Bible studies. Must speak English fluently and be Caucasian (due to local prejudices).

The People

The Irish drown their grief in the pubs as a socially acceptable way of handling difficulties, but this practice tears at the fabric of their society. Approximately 75% of the nearly five million people in Ireland claim to be Roman Catholics

The Project

The project in Cork has been underway for some time. Multiple community outreaches such as exercise classes, depression recovery meetings, supper clubs, leadership seminars, Pathfinders, Bible study groups, and counseling opportunities have been establishing friendships and breaking down prejudices.
